Use Mail Tribune want Ada Sunday, April IS, 1856 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SETS Cotton Plantation Gives Mississippi Biggest Crop Growing Area in U.S. Scott. Miss. U.R What the fabulous King Ranch In Texas is I to cattle, the 35,00U-acre Delta and Pine Land company planta tion here is to cotton. It is the biggest in the United States. The D&HL spread often is called the "largest cotton plan tation in the world." But the outfit's new acting president, Basil J. Young, said there are larger ones in the Egyptian Sudan and in India, although this is the largest single unit plantation in the south. Young has just succeeded Os car Johnston, one of the world s foremost cotton authorities, who resigned because of poor health. It's not a completely-new task for the 73-year-old veteran, however, since he's been here in the heart of the Mississippi Delta since 1911. Started by British The DiPL was formed that year by a British syndicate of spinners and doublers. Young, then a civil engineer, was hired to handle drainage problems in this flat countryside. He became assistant general manager, gen eral manager and now acting president. Born in the London suburb of Kensington In May, 1877, Young moved to the United States in 1894, settling in California. His father was a Shakespearean lec turer. At the age of 19 he became an American citizen but he has never lost his English accent. His father gave him $500 for a college education and Young promptly spent it on a trip to Alaska. Two years later, in 1888, he returned to California. The urge to adventure still was strong, however, and Young went on to the sold mining area around Cripple Creek, Colo.. In hopes of riches. Again he mined his El Dorado. Another two years, and again he heard the call of the Klon dike. Young followed the rush to the frozen north, where he rubbed shoulders with gamblers, miners and prospectors. "I saw gamblers loso as much as $:i2,000." he remembers, "and then saw them win It back again plus $32,000 more in the same faro game." The riches of the Klondike eluded Young. He returned to California and farming. That, too, proved unsatisfac tory, and in 1904 he look up civil engineering. He worked as a civil engineer for the Southern Pacific railroad, laying out the baiton sea fine through lamor nia. His immediate boss and friend was A. T. Mercier, now president of the railroad. He setled briefly in San Bernardino, Cat., and then came east to the Delta, Australia May Build Own Waldorf Hotel Canberra, Australia (U.R) New York s Waldorf-Astoria ho tel soon may have a baby sister here in Canberra. Owner of the famous Ameri can hotel are reported to be planning the "most luxurious hotel in Australia" for this coun try's capital. Though nothing concrete yet has been an nounced, architects are already supposed to be working on the design of a proposed building to house about ::00 guests. The hotel, reports say, will in many ways resemble the wal dorf, but on a much smaller scale. American Interests have been discussing for some time a pro posal to build a chain of luxury hotels throughout Australia for the tourist traffic, but the main stumbling block has been lack of labor and materials.
